Tommeh Posted 2 May 2008 Posted 2 May 2008 Struggling to look beyond Ray Parlour for this accolade tbh.
Jack Posted 2 May 2008 Posted 2 May 2008 Woods and Federer, for the way that they dominate their sports.
Phube Posted 3 May 2008 Posted 3 May 2008 Woods and Federer, for the way that they dominate their sports. Their individual sports!! Have they won top accolades in more than one? NO!! Max Woosnam all the way!
Zingari Posted 3 May 2008 Posted 3 May 2008 Struggling to look beyond Ray Parlour for this accolade tbh. agreed , good footballer and pretty handy about the garden
Tommy G Posted 3 May 2008 Posted 3 May 2008 he's from near where I live!! Should I admit to that!! Who the hell is he??
StroudFox Posted 3 May 2008 Posted 3 May 2008 Who the hell is he?? OMg - Its because you are so young!! He is Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards. A brilliant ski-jumper!!!!
IloveSOHOFOX Posted 3 May 2008 Posted 3 May 2008 I have to agree with one of mickeyblueeyes (ahh I love that film, ey old english Hugh Grant, I love the name Mickey too)= Top Sportsman for me is also Maradona x. But my second choice is most deffo Jack Nicklaus, I even named my son after him, Diego didnt quite hit it in our Bishop Stortford Village Also Torville and Dean, Couzens, Steve Ovett, Seb Coe, anyone whos done anything good for Britain. Steve Redgrave, Daley Thompson, Zola Budd (well, kinda); as well as top gymnasts for whichever EU country. And the great long distant runners, usually called Said. I would enter myself, just that the catogories for fast talking, most days living on tuna and mustard leaves, and ammnt of times watched the movie Mickey Blue Eyes still are not accepted by Olympics Society. Tut, cant think why.
ASH17LCFC Posted 3 May 2008 Posted 3 May 2008 Diego Maradona greatest footballer in the world ever and i don't care if he's a cheat. He does what ever he can to win ... True sportsman.
Ultra Posted 3 May 2008 Posted 3 May 2008 Diego Maradona greatest footballer in the world ever and i don't care if he's a cheat. He does what ever he can to win ... True sportsman. Much as I adore Maradona he's still not quite in Pele's class. Ali is top sportsman though. His influence went way beyond boxing.
Sparky Posted 3 May 2008 Posted 3 May 2008 Much as I adore Maradona he's still not quite in Pele's class.Ali is top sportsman though. His influence went way beyond boxing. I grew up thinking Maradona was the better but Maradona was the only 1 of the 2 i can say i watched , people who watched both and maybe even throw Bestie in will be able to give a far more balanced view
Master Fox Posted 3 May 2008 Posted 3 May 2008 If it was gayest person ever, I'd definitely be voting for Tommg G
Father Ted Posted 3 May 2008 Posted 3 May 2008 If it was gayest person ever, I'd definitely be voting for Tommg G Your sig!
Ultra Posted 4 May 2008 Posted 4 May 2008 I grew up thinking Maradona was the better but Maradona was the only 1 of the 2 i can say i watched , people who watched both and maybe even throw Bestie in will be able to give a far more balanced view Good though Best was, he doesn't compare with either of those two. He might have done, if he hadn't p!ssed his career away..
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 5 May 2008 Posted 5 May 2008 Tiger Woods, Roger Feder, Shane Warne, Don Bradman, Michael Jordan and Lance Armstrong
Jordan Posted 6 May 2008 Posted 6 May 2008 OK, so it's around 1:00 a.m. and I felt like having a little bread and butter (for the record, I'm neither drunk nor pregnant). When I picked up the butter knife, I thought of the Woosnam-Chaplin ping-pong incident and started laughing. A fvckin' butter knife! I still can't get over this... Quite...Lets put this down in simple terms: Played Football, cricket, tennis, real tennis and golf for Cambride. He Captained Man City and England Captained GB in the Olympics Captained GB in the Davis Cup Won tennis gold medal in the Olympics Won a Wimbledon Doubles title Got a 147 break Beat Charlie Chaplin at Table Tennis with a butter knife!! A scratch golfer An all without being paid!!! He is a real SPORTSman!! Yes, truly in a class of his own; but nobody's perfect, so there's got to be something about him that's a little off that evens the scales a bit. Maybe he had one of those really high-pitched, annoying voices. Maybe he was shit in bed with the ladies. Maybe he ate babies. Wait... Max also drove a bus during the general strike. AHA! HE WAS A DIRTY SCAB! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SamL Posted 6 May 2008 Posted 6 May 2008 Has to be Barry Hayles Can't blame you in all fairness, Barry is god. Hopefully he'll leave us now, for a better place. Personally for me it'd be between:- Stephen Hendry Ronnie O'Sullivan Murili Muriliatheran (sp?) Shane Warne Brian Lara Roger Federer Ayrton Senna Lance Armstrong

l444ry Posted 8 May 2008 Posted 8 May 2008 Ping Pong Legend Pong Ping Poo Dies Aged 97 The world of professional table tennis is in mourning today after the announcement by Chinese state television of the unexpected death of Pong Ping Poo, the greatest exponent of the game in it's long and distinguished history. Ping Poo died from complications relating to sticking ping-pong balls up his rear end. The nonagenarian was due to compete in the Shanghai Cup seniors tour tomorrow. The game will still go ahead in his honour with Pong Poo being replaced by his 75-year-old son playing while wearing his fathers death mask. Pong Poo revolutionised table tennis with a number of innovations which cemented his place in the history of the sport. It was he who decided to use wooden bats to hit the ball. Before that, players used their elbows - hence the term 'tennis elbow'. It was also Pong Poo who introduced the idea of contorting the face during rallies. Before this, players had happy, smiley faces and even were known to have deep conversations during matches about topiary and flower arranging. Ping Pong Poo had 52 children with 19 different wives and prostitutes - all healthy boys. He will be sadly missed by fans worldwide, especially for his jovial manners and wise sayings such as "don't eat meat that is green" and the unforgettable "never slap a flatulent midget". Despite his speaking of the Chinese language and playing for the Chinese National Team, Ping Pong Poo was actually from Scotland and lived his entire life in his hometown, Edinburgh. He put his longevity down to living entirely on a diet of deep-fried Mars bars.
